Updates–2012

January 2012 - Some challenging months have passed for me resulting in an operation the beginning of December. A month later I’m still not able to be up much, but thanks to our dedicated women, our work with abandoned babies continues. Women from our church have been a wonderful help with bringing meals and cleaning, and friends took Codi and Andrea to their Christmas programs. I can only thank God that the problem was found and is being resolved.
At the hospital, Maria 2 months old and Nicoleta 3 months old have been with us most of their lives, and now Vera says Nicoleta has developed a wonderful laugh! Ioan who is 4 months old is now eating cereal and loving it. Narcisa and Claudiu both a month old are very sick, but being blessed and loved by Vera’s excellent care.
On the other section, David, Florica and Adriana, from 9 months to 1 1\2 years old have all spent most of their lives in the hospital, being sent home, but being brought back again. Sami is very handicapped like Soledad, but Dorina sees that massaging him helps him move his limbs. Divia who is 2 and been in the hospital most of her life has become a friendly active little girl who walks between the rooms and likes to rock and play with the smaller children. Evelin has developed a real love of singing and when one of our women says to her, “Let’s sing”, she immediately starts singing in her own unique way. Our women have these children covered in 12 hour shifts 7 days a week, so they are very well cared for and most importantly, loved.
